Actor James Marden says he still feels bad about turning down a role in "Magic Mike".
The 43-year-old actor, who has been a part of films like " "X-Men," "Enchanted," and "The Notebook," said that director Steven Soderbergh offered him a role in the Channing Tatum-starring male strippers movie, but he was hesitant and ultimately passed on the part, reported Entertainment Weekly.
"Soderbergh is one of my favorites. But I didn't know if I trusted myself to be good enough in this to not have my two dozen lines end up on the editing-room floor. I'd look like a naked extra in this movie," Marsden said.
The actor did not tell which "Magic Mike" part he was offered, but does admit that he now regrets turning it down.
"It's perfect the way it worked out, but that's one of the only ones I'm like, Hmm. I didn't know it was gonna be the massive success that it was," he said.
